Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Gu Xingcheng said slowly: "I plan to hand over the Imperial Guards to you."

Gu Xingsheng spat out the tea that had just entered his mouth: "Brother, ahem, brother, you are not kidding me, are you? I, my mediocre skills."

Gu Xingcheng glared at him and said, "What mediocre skills? You are from a famous family, and Uncle Rui is very strict with you. Among the young masters of the same age, who can be your opponent? I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you. Okay, don't be modest, this is settled."

Gu Xingcheng stood up and chased them away.

Gu Xingsheng also stood up: "No, brother, can we discuss this matter again?"

"There is nothing to discuss. As soon as the case is over, I will immediately order you to take over the Imperial Guard. Don't even think about slacking off."

"Is the case solved?"

Gu Xingyan glanced at the bright sun outside. Winter was completely over. He nodded and said, "Just these two days."

"Tell me, what was Concubine Chen thinking? Why did she let Ye Zhishao die?"

Gu Xingcheng snorted coldly: "If Ye Zhishao can kill us by chance, then her son will be the only candidate to succeed the emperor. If she fails to kill us, she has plenty of ways to clear herself of all charges and then use the death of our father to catch the three of us in one fell swoop."

Gu Xingyan also said in a cold voice: "Second cousin, some people think they have a sure win, so they are anxious to discard useless chess pieces. They are just self-righteous."

Gu Xingsheng also sneered: "Concubine Chen is so confident that she can't wait to eliminate the useless people."

"It's a pity that she was too impatient."

……

The dragon raises its head on the second day of February.

In the past ten days, Li Shuangwan, Shu Wenbo, Hong Shuang and others had been on the road except for eating and sleeping. They originally thought that the journey would not be peaceful, but unexpectedly, they only encountered two assassination attempts at the beginning, which delayed them for a few days. Later, they had a smooth journey.

The weather was exceptionally sunny that day.

Li Shuangwan was reading the carrier pigeon letter her mother had just sent her, telling her that she and Yizhu and others had arrived safely in the northwest, and asked her not to worry and to take good care of herself outside.

When she arrived at Sijiucheng in Daliang, she would send a message to them so that they could feel at ease.

And just yesterday she received good news. Chen Ping, who was looking for the four antidotes for the Dark Guard poison for her, sent her a letter saying that he had found one of the antidotes, called Bi Hai Xuan Shen.

He also got news about another medicine called Blue Moon Sophora japonica. He has already set off for it. He believes that it won't be long before he can get this medicine.

Li Shuangwan smiled slightly. That's great. Two of the four herbs were found.

Gu Xingyan, I will definitely remove the poison from your body!

Everyone rested by the river, and the accompanying guards set up a stove and began to prepare today's lunch.

Hongshuang was still wearing red, but the difference from when she was in Bishuiquan Villa was that it was not a red sand shirt, but a red corset that outlined her slender waist.

He took the water bag from the horse's back, walked over, and threw it into Li Shuangwan's hand: "Miss Li, what are you looking at?"

Li Shuangwan smiled and turned around, holding up the paper in her hand. "My mother's letter. They have safely arrived in the northwest. Don't call me Miss Li from now on. I'm two years younger than you. I'll call you Sister Hongshuang, and you can call me Yanyan."

"Yan Yan?"

"Yes, Shu Yanyan, Li Shuangyan."

Hongshuang looked at the girl in front of her. Ever since she escaped from Prince Heng's Mansion, there had been less hatred in her eyes and more frankness. For example, now, when she smiled at her, there was light in her eyes.

Who wouldn't like a girl like this?

Hong Shuang pondered for a few words and raised her eyebrows: "Shu Yanyan, Li Shuangyan, good names, reborn from the ashes, like a rough jade, bright, precious, and pure. But the two characters Yanyan should be given to the master. How about I call you Ayan?"

Once, she accidentally heard her master say "Wanwan".

Li Shuangwan looked embarrassed: "Oh, ah, okay, okay."

Shu Wenbo came over and handed each of them a piece of cake: "We still have another 500 miles to go. After eating, let's hurry up and get going. We should be able to reach Sijiu City in two or three days at most."

He turned to look at Li Shuangwan: "I haven't seen Brother Nine for more than a month. I miss him a lot. Little sister, you miss him too, right? I've sent someone to send a message back. Maybe Brother Nine will be waiting for us at the city gate in two days. He will definitely be very happy to see you."

He couldn't help but want to see what Ninth Brother looked like when he laughed. In his impression, Ninth Brother seldom laughed. During those ten years in the village, they were still very young, and many things were forgotten as they were captured and taken into the mountains and forests and fought life-and-death battles year after year and day after day.

During the ten years in Linshan, they had tried their best to survive every day and had long forgotten that the muscles on their faces could be used for laughing besides eating and talking.

Li Shuangwan's originally raised smile gradually disappeared, and his expression slowly became stiff: "Brother, we are too tired from traveling these days. How about we rest here for a day and set off tomorrow."

Shu Wenbo looked at Hong Shuang in confusion, "Didn't you urge us to go faster every day? We have traveled three thousand miles in just ten days. Along the way, Hong Shuang and I have been accompanying you like our lives depended on it. We ate cold steamed buns and slept in the suburbs. We couldn't sleep for more than three hours a day, and our bones were about to fall apart. Now we will arrive in two days at most. Why don't we hurry up? Why do we have to stop all of a sudden?"

Hong Shuang nudged Shu Wenbo with her arm and said, "Okay, let's take a day off today."

Shu Wenbo was about to say something else, but Hong Shuang pulled him back and said, "Master Shu, please tell the guards to pack up the tents and have a good rest this afternoon and evening. Everyone is very tired from the journey. Ask them to cook some rice and get some meat."

"I..." Shu Wenbo really couldn't understand. It was she who had dragged them on the journey day and night. Now they were only a few hundred miles away. It would only take two days for them to see the person they had been thinking about day and night, but suddenly she refused to leave.

It’s damn hard to guess what a woman is thinking.

"Go ahead." Hong Shuang pushed the person away with a smile, and Shu Wenbo walked away muttering to himself.

Hongshuang came to Li Shuangwan, and the two of them sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, and he ate cakes with her silently.

Li Shuangwan bit the cake in his hand bit by bit, and after a while he said, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

Hong Shuang chuckled and took a sip of water, with water slowly dripping down from the corners of her mouth: "If you want to talk, I don't need to ask. If you don't want to talk, it's useless for me to ask. So, A Yan, come and fill your stomach first, and then have a good sleep in the afternoon."

After waking up, she should have figured it out. At worst, I can just accompany her back to Northern Jin.
